I Don't Want To Talk About It

So.....

Today was it! Today was the day to finish my mom's office! It was a day when my mom and I were conflict free (schedule-wise) and we were both relatively healthy. (Although my mom has that really cute cold-voice going on.)

All we had to do was finish the trim, and paint the ceiling. Easy-peasy, right? Right! Finished the trim and got the ceiling painted in record time! It was great! Time to clean up.

Back in the day, when we were not almost done with the office, I had painted the perimeter of the ceiling. Then, after (what I thought was) a suitable amount of time, (at least overnight), I taped the very edge of the ceiling where it met the walls. That way I could go nuts on the walls without worrying about messing up the border of the ceiling.

Today was the day to take down the tape. And we started to. But the tape wasn't going down on its own. It was taking my precious precious ceiling paint with it.

The looks on our faces. Got worse and worse. The more the tape came down.

There are so many emotions going through me right now. I can't describe them all. It really was the most disheartening part of this project.

My mom and I both wanted to cry.

So, no. I am not finished with the office yet. I am, however, ready to begin a new project. It is called Operation Drunk.

Kidding!
